At that time, the serial number was chaotic, and there were new and temporary series besides the original serial number.
Details are as follows:
Before the Anti-Japanese War, the Nanjing government awarded more than 100 division titles to the Central Army and local faction armed forces, and the local faction armed forces themselves had a large number of armed forces in the name of independent brigades. After the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, various local factions reorganized their armed forces into regular troops and went to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. The Central Army itself also expanded a lot, and the number of divisions soon exceeded 200. At that time, for some reason, the Kuomintang government limited the maximum number of titles issued to 200(200 divisions were Du's mechanized troops), and all the following divisions began with 1 and were called new divisions, but there was no difference in preparation and equipment between them. For example, the new 38th Division in Sun Liren and the new 22nd Division in Liao Yaoxiang are very effective. There are about fifty new divisions in the Kuomintang army. ?
Similar to the new division, there is also a new division, because the number of the largest division is 100. ?
During the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang army also expanded its original troops and formed some new divisions in various war zones. The designation given to the temporary division by the Chongqing government probably means temporary troops, and it will be cancelled after the war. There are dozens of such temporary editors one after another, with Hu Zongnan as the most. Similar to temporary divisions, there are temporary troops. ?
In addition to the new and temporary divisions, the Kuomintang army also has some reserve divisions, which are recruits engaged in training and also serve as rear guards and guards. Later, several reserve divisions were temporarily sent to participate in the war, and their performance was not bad, so the serial number was retained.
The old 38th Division is an army of the 29th Route Army of Song Dynasty, and the teacher of the 38th Division is Zhang Zizhong. 1977 After the Lugouqiao Incident, the 38th Division was expanded into the 59th Army.
